Yep!

Find a photo of suitably-matching out-of-focus greenery, and start painstakingly masking it in there.
-
It still looks like it's glowing a bit

Yeah, you're not kidding. -
What size brush were you using? Usually I use a 5-6 pixel brush for this kind of masking.
-
Yep!
-
I know, but not all of it.
-
Yay! Best one! Just a bit of light halo along the top of the roof (in the sky) especially towards the left-hand end.
-
No, Sandra, PLEASE turn the sky layer off and on a bunch of times so you can see the flaws with your masking.
-
Some cloning will inevitably be necessary as well.
-
No, you'll need to mask the roof away entirely. Paint completely black where the roof is.
-
There's no "trick" to that - just really careful masking. Generally, for this kind of work, I zoom in to about 400%, and use a 5-6px brush. Oh, and the Shift key is vital.

It's so vitally important, once you've done an edit like this, to turn the layer/s off and on a bunch of times, to look for flaws.
-
Good! Just mask the roof, and it'll be great.
-
Well, I guess it would be like this eye flip, but on a grander scale.
-
I fear not, sorry
-
Well, the smaller prints will be ok with the Patch Tool, but for the bigger area at the front, you'll need another photo of smooth sand to swap.
-
This is a valiant effort. But there's a bit too much obvious cloning repetition in the trees
-
Have you tried copying and flipping the wall/columns from the other side? That seems like the most likely solution.

This irritates me so much. No, I'm not aware of a way, sorry. If you find one, can you let me know? -
@solley
-
And where, exactly, is this pixelation?
-
That's nonsense, show me. Show me a 100% crop from the baby part of the photo, and from another in-focus part of the photo.
-
What??? Well duh! Everything looks pixely over 100%.
-
Hmmm ... let's diagnose ... First, can you confirm you're using File>Place to put the baby in the photo, not copy and paste or drag and drop?
