I grew two inches!

Do you know how tall you are? Adults stop measuring themselves at some point because they stop growing, but I wonder how many were measured recently enough to know exactly how tall they are. I, for one, have spent the last 5-10 years tellings people I'm 5' 2". I don't know where I came up with that figure, but it's been published everywhere from my driver's license to my health records (since they just ask and assume you know). Last night, I asked Wes to measure me, and low and behold, I'm actually 5' 4". I don't know where the extra two inches came from or when I got them (not recently), but I'm excited about them.
For good measure (hah!), we measured Wes and Lucy also. Wes is 5' 10 1/2" (not quite the 6' that the Davidson baseball program always claimed he was). Lucy is 2' 3" from nose to butt, and 3' 3" from nose to tail -- yes, that's 1' of tail. She's also 1' 4" tall from paw to back.
We weighed ourselves, too, but I don't think we need to share that...
