I went through and found all the episodes where the time of year is fairly certain.

Episode                     Season    Ep#    Weather The Answer                         2    22    spring/summer Same Old World                  3    3      Fall Buddy's Book                      4    3      Summer Onion Gang                         4    7      Fall Gem Harvest                       4    8/9   Fall Three Gems And A Baby    4    10    Winter Gemcation                          5    6       spring/summer Reunited                             5    23/24    summer?

One can see from this that there were at least 2 winters between The Answer and Reunited. The first one was sometime between S3E3 and S4E3. The second one was S4E10. Since The Answer occured sometime in the spring/summer that means at least 2 years passed between The Answer and Reunited. So why did Sapphire say "And 8 months" when Ruby said "5750 years", while Garnet had said "5750 years" in The Answer? Simple. Garnet was approximating.

This means that, during The Answer the time passed was actually 5748 years plus some odd months. Then Reunited occurs a little over 2 years later, by which time the time passed is exactly 5750 years and 8 months. This also means that Steven in now 16, but still looks exactly the same as when he was 8, with the addition of just one little whisker.
