Narrative:
On takeoff from 13R; the first officer (first officer) was flying and commanded 'gear up'. Without recognition of my actions; as I was pilot monitoring; his first takeoff of our trip; I put the flap lever from flaps 1 to flaps up. Immediately after this action; the first officer commanded LNAV as he had missed engaging it during his departure brief; and I missed it during my pre-departure cleanup of the MCP (mode control panel). As I selected LNAV for him we got an 'airspeed low' aural warning. I immediately looked at the airspeed indicator and saw 155 with a yellow box around it. I told the first officer; pilot flying our airspeed was low and to accelerate; but did not recognize my error until we reached 1000 feet AGL and I went to put the flaps up. It was then I recognized the flaps were up and the gear was down. I raised the gear; the aircraft accelerated and the rest of the flight was uneventful.
