I am looking to see if anyone knows what this is? I found one on my bathroom floor and one on my bedroom floor. Tonight, one was crawling across my made bed.

From the image they look like a carpet beetle. But it is really hard to say if this is true or not. If the image was much clearer it would be easier to see if this was actually a carpet beetle or a bed bug. No matter what they must be taken out of your home. I would lay down some sticky flypaper and try to trap as many as possible. Each day vacuum the area and throw the bag away in the trash can when done.
The picture is not very clear and when the subject is so far away the picture just blurs when you try to enlarge it.
It definitely could be a beetle but you do not say if they fly or if they seem to have a 'hard' shell so it could be any number of different bugs.
Hopefully there will not be anymore - as you could have brought them in with groceries or bags or even a plant and this is all there are around.
However, it may be a good idea to check your pantry to see if there are any bugs in your food boxes/containers as these are the most common types of beetles along with the carpet beetle that will eat almost anything in your house.
You can also send pictures (if you see more bugs) to your county extension agency and ask for help as they are familiar with the most common bugs in your area and helping with this type of problem is part of their job.
It looks like a Varied Carpet Beetle, here is little info on this insect - en.wikipedia.org/
