What was the timeline?

It was never established in the movie how quickly events unfolded. At one point, just before they move to the barn, Elsa mentions that a month has gone by. They then move to the barn during the winter, and it stays winter for the rest of the movie. That would amount to the entire sequence of Dren's growth happening over two to three months.
