Mary,

Be careful how your focusing is set up. Notice on the picture of the race car above that you have multiple possible focus points. This is something that you select on your menu.

With my camera I can choose to have the camera focus on the closest object to the camera (I don't like this method), or have it focus on the center of the viewfinder (I prefer this).

Make sure you are focusing on the face and not the closer knees of the subject, or not focusing on the back of the chair.

I find that when I am trying to learn some aspect of my camera that I concentrate on one feature at a time. It gets too complex when you start mixing different variables into one experiment.
