Cartoon Network's probably trying to spread their shows out across the year, so instead of putting all the big hiatuses in the middle of summer, some shows get big hiatuses in spring, some shows get big hiatuses in summer and some shows get big hiatuses in the fall. Maybe that's why.

That makes a lot of sense! Maybe the hiatus is to stock pile episodes for the summer and fall until we get to season 3.
