require "date"
require "time"
(1..DateTime.now.month).map{|i| Date.new(DateTime.now.year,i,1).to_s }
#=> ["2013-01-01", "2013-02-01", "2013-03-01", "2013-04-01", "2013-05-01"]

This will give you an array of beginning of month dates for this year until today.

i=Date.today.beginning_of_year
a = []
while i <= Date.today
  a << i.beginning_of_month
  i=i + 1.month
end

You can create helper method:

def months_of_year(till = Date.today)
  (1..till.month).map { |m| Date.new(till.year, m) }
end

This will return array of dates of each 1st days from the beginning of year.
