Genesis 1:1-3 Creator of the heavens and the earth?

When I was reading Genesis 1, I noticed something interesting:

Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said…

Here it seems three persons of the trinity have already appeared; the Father, the Spirit, and the Son (Word). But only in creating the heavens and the earth, it’s stated that merely God "created". The remainder of Chapter 1 is "And God said…" and God created or made this and that afterward.

And then, John says in his gospel:

John 1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

So the Word was the creator and the Spirit also participated in creating. But what about Father? Did the absence of "And God said…" imply that only the Father was in charge of creating the heavens and earth.

I’m just a student so I scarcely know anything about Hebrew. If someone can use language differences to explain, I will much appreciate it.
