I couldn't find anywhere in documentation how to show current year or month with Carbon?

when i write this:

Carbon\Carbon::now('m');

it gives me the whole time stamp, but I just need the month

like 

date('m');

but it must be Carbon!

How can I achieve this?

$now = Carbon::now();
echo $now->year;
echo $now->month;
echo $now->weekOfYear;

Update:

even this works since Laravel 5.5^

echo now()->month
