Nine weeks is still very young for a kitten.  She might just be a little more cautious than your other kitten, or a little more clumsy.  For now, can you add a step for her to use to jump on to the bed or sofa?  Since she's having her check-up in a week, you can always ask the vet to check her for an underlying disorder, but at this point, I would just give it time.

I agree with the above comment and would add all kittens have different personalities.  She might just be more cautious and less interested in this stuff because that's how she is... and that would be within the normal range. Cats, like humans, have all kinds of personalities.

I would mention this to your vet but it probably is nothing to be seriously alarmed about.  Does she walk okay on solid ground and everything?
