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.
