Seems like you're plotting yearmonthlist in the x axis, which is a
list of strings and each string is the concatenation of the string
representations of two numbers. So numbers in the x axis are to be
expected.

You can create datetime objects this way:

d = datetime.datetime(year, month, 1)

Then create an array of datetime objects and use it as the x parameter to plot.
