The word month is a common noun, but the names of the months are proper nouns because they are names. Dates may or may not be a proper noun because dates are written or expressed in many different forms. For example, 6/25/99 is just a number; June 25th is a proper noun and an adjective, the 25th of June or June's 25th day; June 25, 1999 is a matter of choice if you call it all a proper noun or just the word June.
