Months in Spanish are never capitalized unless they begin a sentence. Write febrero, enero, marzo, etc. in lowercase.
Adding an extra r (febrerro)

Febrero has only one r in the final syllable — the br cluster is followed by a single-tap r (ero), not a rolled rr. This is a common spelling error even among native speakers.
