Why does the amount of interest I earn each month vary?

[reddit]

I opened a CD in December. It says APY is 5.2% and rate is 5.07%. The link below is a picture of my investment beginning in December and the amount of interest calculated/deposited each month. Shouldn't it be increasing since I have more money in the account than I started with?

Can someone explain? I feel like it's a simple answer, but I'm missing something.
