Tall is always used to describe something vertical, such as a tall building, tower or a persons height. Long is usually used to describe something that is not vertical or not always vertical. For instance it is a long way to Timbuktu or the football field is 100 yards long. The inseam of his trousers is 32 inches.

on human perspective if you are asking for the distance between two points in vertical view it is called height, and length for horizontal. Tall is the adjective that connotes to height and long for length. Short can either refer to the distance between two points vertically and horizontally.

tall is up/down---vertical measure of distance....as with people who stand up
long is a horizontal measure of distance.....like a St. Bernard is, I don't know---3 feet long, and stands 2 feet tall at the shoulders.

hence a baby is born, he cannot walk, so they measure him horizontally
once the little brat can walk and get into stuff, they measure his height
