Tummy time and rolling

DS will be 3 months on the 29th.  We try tummy time everyday, but he HATES it! I mean HATES it! Even if we lay him on our chests so he can see our faces, he still screams and kicks.  We carry him upright instead of cradle him, so he can practice holding his head up that way, but his neck muscles aren't very strong. I'm wondering when your LOs were able to hold their heads up?

When we lay him on his back, he doesn't act like he wants to roll over anytime soon.  When did your LOs roll over? Was tummy time more enjoyable when they were able to roll over on their own?

 I'm a FTM, so I may be overreacting, but I'm worried he's behind or that something is developmentally wrong.  HELP!

    My LO loved tummy time the first 2 months, and since then, HATES it! But we realized we can only do it with her when she is in a great mood. We realized in the mornings are her best hours so we do it for a while then and after a few days of figuring that
