3 month old not rolling

How did you get your baby to roll from front to back? I use a nursing pillow for tummy time as he screams if I do it with anything closer to the floor but I can’t see him trying to Roll he just pushes himself with his feet. Is this normal for 3 months or should he be closer to being able to roll?
