Here is one thought. Assign each month a value of 0, 1 or 2. Then do a simple linear regression analysis where the value of the month is the independent variable. You can also do multiple linear regression with the value you assigned to the month plus the other factors that you believe are causing a change to your data. Time is the one that comes to my mind. You can do this with the standard R function lm.

I hope this helps.
