AHHHHHHHHH!!

Ok, here's the problem.  I'm so not consistent. But I do the same thing every time I shoot.  So how come I'm all over the place?  Lens, camera body or just user error?  Not too proud to say it could be the latter.  I just need to know so I can fix this annoying little issue.  Here are 4 shots, all SOOC with vital info below each pic.  Tell me what you think.  I really need some help before I throw my camera in the pond next door.  Seriously I'm so frustrated!!!
1.  Good clarity (a little dark!) but focus on the eyes is spot on.  Taken back in May just after getting my new camera and lens.  This is how all my pictures were at that time.
f2.8   1/400    ISO 320    35mm

2.  Taken yesterday.  I focused on her eyes, like I ALWAYS do.  But focus landed on her outfit.  And with the aperature on f5.0 the focus should be on that whole plane.  What gives?!?!
f5.0   1/125   ISO320   35mm

3.  Taken last week. Again, focus is perfect on her eyes.  I just did what I always do.
f2.5   1/160   ISO200   35mm

4.  Again, taken yesterday.  Shot wide open but she's completely in focus EXCEPT her face, which is what I set the focal point on. 
f1.8   1/640   ISO320   35mm

Please, help me!!!

    I'm not sure. I can see just a hint of softness in the last one on Addie's face. It's not pronounced but I can see it.

    Maybe you should try again today and see if it was just a fluke. Have you looked through the settings on the camera to make sure no small children got a hold of the camera and made a few changes? I had that happen once, Sophia made a few changes to my camera and it messed with me for over a month.
