There are no canon words for the months. Dovah, being lesser Aedra and therefore immortal beings, have little need for such precise time measurements. In their language, they instead use the seasons. There are canon Dovahzul words for three of the four seasons (koor for Summer, vah for Spring, gravuun for Autumn). Since Winter is the opposite of Summer, we will use the prefix vo-, meaning "un-," to create vokoor, "un-Summer" or "opposite of Summer." This is the canon workaround for the word, although there is also the Legacy word felniir. Keep in mind, though, that Legacy is pretty much not used anymore, so it's only useful for personal projects nowadays. Since there is not a canonical number system in Dovahzul (aside from nid "none/zero" and gein "one"), we can't really use ordinals to describe months with the canon lexicon. However, if you want to learn more about the fanmade Legacy number system, click HERE. There is no canon word for "moon," but instead we can use kreinsevulon, or "sun-of-night." Thus, "January" could be geinaan kreinsevulon, "February" could be ziinun kreinsevulon, and so forth. You could use the Legacy word iilah for "moon" if you want. Might make it a bit less of a mouthful. You could also use the Legacy words for the months. Remember, very few people use Legacy Dovahzul, even on this site, but I figured you might want to know the words anyway. I've included both the real-life month name and the Elder Scrolls equivalent. Click on the Dovahzul word for each month to view the Legacy Dictionary entry for that word.
