Hence July and August bumped everything back 2 months......

Default Reason for July and August
The two months were added to the Roman calendar because with only ten months the seasons were eventually not occurring in the same months. (For instance autumn was staring in June.)
The astrologers added July and August. In order to be sure there would never be a need to add any months in the future, February was to include one extra day every four years.
