Waxing crescent and first quarter

Explanation:

A waxing crescent moon is when the Moon looks like crescent and the crescent increases ("waxes") in size from one day to the next. This phase is usually only seen in the west. The first quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waxing crescent phase.
