It would be easier to store the month as as a formula on your account to query against directly. So assuming your dob__c is a DateField Create a formula dob_month__c Month(dob__c) Then in your query, just query account where month is the selected month from your picklist I suspect the Month function yields a numerical value like 6 as opposed to Jun so you might want to have the value of your selectOption as the month number and the label as the name.
