BuddyRoe has NEVER liked tummy time. Every time we try to put him on his stomach he screams bloody murder and buries his face in the floor/bed/blanket. He doesn't even like to lay on his stomach on top of our stomachs.
When we mentioned it to his pediatrician a couple months back he said not to worry about it, that his neck muscles would strengthen just fine without it. So, we haven't put him on his tummy since then.
We've resigned ourselves to the fact that he may never crawl. Afterall, how do you crawl if you're never on your tummy? But that's ok...we're fine with going straight to walking!
Well, the past couple of days he's been trying really hard to roll over (back to tummy). He gets about 80% there and then falls back to a flat position.
So this morning I decided to help him the rest of the way on to his tummy. I grabbed his arm and tugged him the last little bit over so that he was flat on his tummy, arms out to his sides.
Imagine my surprise when he IMMEDIATELY rolled back over on to his back and started laughing! It's like he was saying "HaHa! No Tummy Time for Me!"

Congrats for your little boy for making it all the way over! My little girl, Allie Claire is 6 months this week and she too hates tummy time!!! She just started rolling over two weeks ago and we were beside ourselves!
From one proud momma to another, I know it was a big day for you're little family!
