I don't think the time laspe was a big stretch. I mean from Jaundice onwards there was a timeskip (probably also started at the jump cut where Ruby joins Yang to Beacon) and a few months would be around 2-4 at the very least and most?

Seriously Rooster Teeth should come up with a timeline chart in the near future. I've seen more convoulted series with even messier timeline, don't get me started. RWBY is still relatively new, and I've seen worse since I first joined a fandom.
