I flew for the first time in 5 months last week and it went pretty well
What do you expect? Remember that even airline pilots have to perform a landing every four weeks (or so), despite them having thousands of hours and landings.
Conversely, you have very limited experience (averaging just over 1 hour per onth) and yet expect to be an ace after 5 months away!
"Going very well" sounds as if all you need is to put a couple of hours in over a week or so and it will all come together just fine. So, I would advise puttin gin a concerted effort to break your 'virginity' and move on to the next step - I know it's expensive, but I feel it will be more expensive if you don't.
Good luck...
