The echo is the 13th option. Try this:

<select name="month" id="month">
	<option value="1" <?php echo if ($this_month == 'Jan') echo 'selected'; ?>>Jan</option>
	<option value="2" <?php echo if ($this_month == 'Feb') echo 'selected'; ?>>Feb</option>
	<option value="3" <?php echo if ($this_month == 'Mar') echo 'selected'; ?>>Mar</option>
	<option value="4" <?php echo if ($this_month == 'Apr') echo 'selected'; ?>>Apr</option>
	// etc.
</select>

A better way would be to use a loop.
