Unfortunately, the northlight-images link is not working now. A Google search on "AF adjust moire" finds other sites that explain the technique.

Is your K-5 is consistently front focusing? If so, it sounds like a calibration problem.
The K-5's AF adjustment is on page 4 of the Custom Setting Menu, item number 26, AF Fine Adjustment.
I like the moire pattern AF adjustment method, which is explained here, but just taking a series of shots of a flat object while varying the AF adjustment works OK too. (Between each test shot, defocus the lens.)
That you've had trouble with other Pentax cameras is strange. I had a K-10D, and it did not misfocus. Also, my K-5 focuses accurately, although with occasional misses.
A couple of other observations: Your sample shot was taken in good light according to the EXIF, so a low-light AF problem is not the issue. Also, if the K-5's relatively large AF frame was the cause, the bowl edge near the baby's eye, or the background just behind the baby would have been in focus.

What he actually said: "I had the camera set to AF select and had the dot right on my sons eye."
