They all do, if you just wait long enough. (You never have to wait longer than 29.5 days,
because all of the phases repeat with that period.)
The phase that immediately follows hard upon the waxing gibous is the Full Moon.
Waxing gibbous
After the first quarter, the sunlit portion is still increasing, but now it is more than half, so it is waxing gibbous. After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next.
Approximately two to three.... and they depend on the theoretical "starting point" phase. It takes about two weeks for the moon to go from "new" to "full". So, in one week the moon could go from "first quarter" to "waxing gibbous" to "full"
When the visible bright part of the Moon is increasing in size, the term "waxing" is used. When the visible part of the Moon is less and less illuminated each night, the term "waning" applies.

Waxing gibbous.
Waning Crescent.
It is a point in the waxing gibbous phase and can also a point in the waning gibbous phase, but not in the first quarter.
Waxing, as opposed to waning, is when the moon is getting bigger, going towards full. Gibbous is the phase when it's between half and full. So waxing gibbous is when it's nearly full.
First Quarter

Full Moon -> Waxing gibbous phase -> First quarter phase -> Waxing crescent phase -> New moon -> Waning crescent phase -> Last quarter phase -> Wanning gibbous phase -> Full Moon
Waxing Gibbous
The Phases of the moon are Full moon,Waxing Gibbous,Waning Gibbous, Waxing Cresent, Waning Cresent and New Moon.
when over half the moon has light this is also the last waxing phase.
