I just had new "new construction" windows installed, and I have to cut
new interior trim out of pine. My plan is to stain them.

However, being from CT, it's cold up here this time of year and
staining in the house without ventilation probably isn't good for my
pregnant wife.
I was thinking of installing the trim now (so we'll have something to
hang our blinds from), and staining in a few months. The trim will be
installed with small trim nails so it shouldn't be a problem to pull
it back off.
The interiors of the windows (Anderson) are unfinished pine as well.

Am I hurting anything by waiting a few months?

I would be concerned that you might handle the trim enough over that
time that the small amounts of oils from your hands will cause uneven
staining. Do you have a garage? Even if you have to "borrow" a friends
garage, I would try to get them stained and finished as soon as possible.
Have you considered putting up some simple rough plain non-milled trim
until summer?

For what purpose? Just to hang curtains/blinds?
