I still like the theory that nobody notices or reacts to nobody aging because they're actually all elves and live for hundreds of years; it's just normal to them. This is why babies still grow up fast (learning to walk doesn't take any longer) but everything afterwards is the same ever after.
I prefer this to the time loop version or the "everyone is secretly dead" to explain why nothing changes but the babies.
Two different times, I have found the bone flute artifact by the mountain lake, near where Abigail plays her flute in summer. It's hers, she's 10,000 years old.
