How do I make a vector where the entries are months and years?

So I have this data set that needs me to plot the months of the year on the x axis for the years 2006 to 2012. What I mean by this is that I want to know how to make an array whose first entry is "Jan-2006", the next is "Feb-2006", the next is "Mar-2006" etc. until I reach "Dec-2012" (total of 84 entries). Could someone help me with this? Thanks
