I’m thinking you may be able to use something like this:
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&limit=4&format=option&show_post_count=1'); ?>
I think that should limit you to the last four months, and it should also place a post count next to the archived month if you want it. You can alter that to suit your taste.
Here is a reference for usage. Template Tags/wp get archives
